Question: What is the difference between and RV and an RI? ...RI means they are re-instating the old value. An RV is revaluing at something different than the old value. Either one will be great for us. If they re-Instate it – I believe the rate was $3 something…maybe $3.30 or so…. Even with a re-instatement they are able to add more for inflation which could put it in the $4 dollar range. That is the basics.
I have a great bank story to share with you guys. I will leave her name out for anonymity: “Went to a JP Morgan Chase bank today. The teller confirmed that they are in training and admitted they are changing their systems. There was a 13 foot pillar advertisement – a LED screen that was saying “Foreign Currency Exchange” And admitted what you [MarkZ] and the others like Frank...others tell us. We were smiling a lot after that bank visit today."
Question: What is your gut saying today Mark? MarkZ: My gut is screaming that we are on the precipice …I think my Iraqi contacts are right and we will see it before Dec 1st.
This was a very interesting weekend. Multiple redemption center contacts say they DID WORK THIS WEEKEND…not for redeeming people but for training new people to fill out their rosters.
This to me is a very big deal...according to my sources and other people’s sources…they were training more teller level individuals over the weekend in foreign currency and exchange procedures. This is absolutely exciting news. So redemption center folks were spending their Saturday and Sunday in preparation for our exchange. Very exciting. This tells me how extremely close we are.
Representatives Warn: The Scarcity Of The Dollar Causes Iraqis Working In Foreign Companies To Lose 20% Of The Value Of Their Salary, 21 nov
November 20, 2023 Baghdad/Al-Masala Al-Hadath: Representative Mustafa Sanad revealed a strange reason that exacerbated the problem of dollar scarcity in local markets, and caused a loss of 20% of the salaries of Iraqis working in foreign companies.
Sanad said that the Prime Minister’s Office gave an exception to Daewoo to receive their share of the dollar in full and through (Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank), and therefore the Central Bank, Basra Branch, was directed to distribute most of the cash dollar (cash) to this company for nearly three months.
He added that this measure caused the scarcity of dollars for the rest of the local companies and contractors and their loss of 20% of their dues because the receipt was in Iraqi dollars and at the official rate. The same applies to Iraqis working for foreign companies who were receiving their salaries in dollars and now in Iraqi dollars and at the official rate, which caused their salaries to decrease by 20%.

THE NEWSLETTER IS THE ALTERNATIVE TO ALL THE HYPE AND BULLSHIT OUT THERE ABOUT THE RV. WE DEAL IN FACTS ONLY, NO SPECULATION AND HYPE. IN FACT, MY EFFORTS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO MANY OF THESE INTEL GURUS REALIZING THEIR MISTAKES AND ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN UP THEIR BULLSHIT.
The saga about the Iraqi dinar RV only gets better and better as the months roll on. Folks, we are almost done with this long journey. More and more pieces of the puzzle are put in place over these past weeks. We can now see the picture and see it clearly. It has become not a matter of “if” this event will occur but “when”. Iraq has given us further nuggets of information to speculate but with pretty good evidence that our speculative conclusions maybe spot on.
So, how long will us investors in the IQD have to wait before Iraq is allowed to liberate it’s own currency? Why do I say “now is the time”?
We know they are completely out of Chapter VII sanctions since December 2022, and so why not treat them as such?
We know they want the Iraq funds (nearly USD 115+ billion) released from the NY banks and put in their custody to do what they want with it. They are tired of being bullied by the U.S. with their own money.
We know they have plans for yet more Sovereign Funds to invest their reserves.
We know they are making agreements now for “currency swaps” and will no longer be using any US dollars in Iraq as of January 1st 2024.
We know since January they have undertaken a massive “de-dollarization” program and told it should have taken 6 years but they decided to do it in 1 year (2023). Why such a hurry?
We know the value of the IQD right now without any further economic development does exceed even pre-1991 era ($3.22) but still at 1/6 of a penny?
We know Iraq now pumps 2/3 more oil than in pre-1991 era.
We know Iraq also has announced 132+ tons of GOLD reserves.
We know they are pushing this year alone, more than any other year since 2005, for the passing of Oil and Gas law. Why?
We know for a FACT that it is the U.S. through the Treasury Dept. direction that will NOT give sign-off to allow the reinstatement. Why?
Finally, we know, the CBI has told us that January is the most opportune time to reinstate for accounting purposes, since it begins their new FISCAL year.
Let me explain to you in today’s Newsletter what their next target is
ref: 2011 Dr Shabibi plan
Just be patient, the reinstatement is coming and I firmly believe with what we now are 99% sure it is going to be a January 2024 event. WOW! Finally!!! š
Parliamentarians Demand Real Solutions To The Dollar Crisis
Iraq 11/21/2023 Baghdad: Shaima Rashid Members of the House of Representatives believe that there are various reasons behind the rise in the dollar exchange rate, between the smuggling of currency outside the country and the government’s lack of control over the situation and control of the borders, in addition to the lack of real and realistic solutions in this regard.

She added, "This issue needs a clear financial policy and strategy in order to limit the issues that caused this crisis, in which the Iraqi citizen was a victim," indicating that "with the start of the next legislative term, a session will be held in this regard in order to develop solutions and consult with the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance."
Finance, and the session will be in the presence of the Governor of the Central Bank,” and she continued: “The timing of the session is still under study, as the issue is important and has caused a stifling crisis without there being solutions.”
